    Stephen and Team,

    With only one week remaining before we meet at DIA for departure to Argentina, please know how much I am looking forward to this venture…pushing to the summit of Aconcagua…and inspiring ourselves and others to reach toward their higher purpose.

    Today, Penney joined Jeff and me on a backpack climb, breaking trail in an amazing winter landscape with several inches of newly fallen snow, to Mushroom Rock near Carbondale. We felt strong, hardly noticing the weight on our backs, acknowledging the value of the fitness training Eric has led us on these past many months.

    There are a number of recent posts (as testimonials to our interest in inspiring others) to the “Purpose” blog posted several weeks ago that you may want to puruse.

      My work and health kept me from visiting before you left on this great journey but please know how proud I am of you. It is an honor to call you friend. All of you be safe and take a look for me.
      Be Well

      Dennis and Team,
      What an amazing undertaking. We wish you all a safe and successful climb. May the climb be better than the flight in. We will be thinking of you constantly, having never taken on such a task we still understand the challenges you face.

      Good luck, Derrel and June

    You are probably knocking it dead right now. Keep up the good work and enjoy. I think of you every morning and what the Andees look like.

    Dennis, remember it is like eating an elephant one bite at a time. Go slow and don’t forget the breathing techniques we discussed. I think they helped me avoid headaches as you get higher. You and your entire team are in my thoughts and prayers.

    Stephen and team!

    Wow! What an extraordinary adventure you are undertaking, and what a profound inspiration! Thank you, thank you for demonstrating what being alive is, and for acknowledging the Divinity that you are. Your hearts and actions are impossible to ignore! Blessings and strength on this final phase of your journey. Love, Will

  17. Mike Carruth

    Dennis, I wonder how you and your team feel climbing Aconacgua, all your senses keyed up. The sights, smells, the pain of sore muscles, and the personal satisfaction of drawing strength from deep within to keep going and to continue on working closely as a team – it is all very hard to imagine. It is what dreams are made of.

  18. Wow- truly inspirational- what a journey you guys are on. I am sitting in my home office here in London feeling inspired to move and discover and journey through great dreams.
    Be well, be safe and enjoy it guys !!!!!!!!!!!!! Marie x

    Hi Stephen:
    If you’re interested in finding a life partner commited to experiencing God Awareness, may
    I suggest Bradon Bays’ “The Journey”? (Google their website). This process and the people who come to their workshops are focused on personal growth, truth and freedom. Very powerful work. And full of conscious women. Very open and unconditional environment.

    PS Visionary Leadership is coming to Prince George end of May and is the same truth busting stuff.
    Namaste Judy.

  22. Amazing, amazing stuff. One of the team member mentioned A Dirty Harry quote: “A man’s gotta know his limitations.” and it made think. A man needs to expand his limitations. So often what we “know” to be our limitations are not truly limits, just the edge of our comfort zone.
